I want the kind of life you see

In a documentary

Where the trees are big and strong

With many vines to hang on

I want to be an astronaut

I want to learn to sail a yacht

And be the only one who knows

What a sextant does

I want it all and I want it bad

Have the life my idols had

I wish I could step into their shoes

To try to do what they do

But it's never enough

I want to kiss all of the girls

Have each one be my world

I want my friends to treasure me

But not so much that I can't leave

Live my life out in the woods

Survive for months on just canned goods

Come back and live in the city

Stay out late, have the energy

I want it all and I want it bad

Have the life my idols had

I wish there was something I could do

To learn some self respect

But It's never enough

(She wrote it on the wall in black lipstick, that I wasn't enough) I want it all and I want it bad

(I took a hand of pills in my anguish, but it wasn't enough) I want the life my idols had

(I drove my car off the side of a bridge, not fast enough) I wanna be so big and tall

(I'll never try a single thing again, today I'm giving it up enough) I wanna be the best of all
